May the power distribution room and control room be built above the sewage tank? ? Is it a violation of relevant regulations? ?
No, firstly, the operating environment is not suitable, and secondly, the explosion-proof requirements are not met
Many times, rather than focusing on standards, process safety also needs to be taken into account
Sir, could you please tell me exactly which aspects of the explosion protection requirements are not met? ?
Have your costs been verified? How can one have such a strange idea? You can build a small power distribution room and cabinet room on top of the sewage tank – many sewage treatment companies do this. But putting the actual power distribution and control rooms up there? Are you trying to get yourself killed?
Could you please make it clear? ? What exactly are the problems? ? ?
You must have encountered this issue in water treatment projects; was it because the space provided by the client wasn’t sufficient, so you placed the control room and power distribution room above the sewage tank? If it’s just a small box used to store things like wiring cabinets, there’s no problem with that. If it is the power distribution room or control room used for the entire production process, it definitely won’t work; it won’t meet the requirements specified in the petrochemical regulations
Sir, which provision in the petrochemical regulations states that structures cannot be built on ponds? Trouble!
The control rooms and power distribution rooms in petrochemical plants are considered to be areas of minimum level 2 significance; the distances listed in that table are clearly incorrect
Do you mean the general layout diagram 4.1.12? It seems the distance between the control room and the pool wasn’t mentioned? ?
There are two approaches for control rooms: 1) setting them up separately to ensure the required distance; 2) locating them adjacent to buildings with fire separation measures in place. Generally, control rooms are considered to be secondary key fire-resistant buildings within the factory complex
